No. Neither 1 nor 9. If a walked up to you with a stick and asked wether side i should use to slice up mah cheese, you would answer that a stick isn't goddamn meant to cut, rite? Same here, it's broken math that aint meant to be solved. A wrong tool for working with maths has been used here, just as wrong as a stick is for cutting cheese. 

Hence my suggestion about punching in some bitch ass face. >:D
